A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 179

Alma knew that they had gone to the Jade Water Lake, so she must have known that Audrey had won a date with Bryson.

Alma was up to no good.

When Audrey and Bryson came into the room, Bryson's phone rang. Bryson picked it up and walked straight to the stairs.

"I'm going upstairs. Send me the data."

After saying this, Bryson turned to Audrey. "I'll go up first."

Audrey nodded.

Kylee said unhappily, "Bryson, why are you going upstairs after coming back? Miss Alma is here."

Alma waved her hand. "It doesn't matter, Madam Cordova. Mr. Bryson has something to do. It must be very important."

"You are so sweet." Kylee looked at Alma lovingly.

Alma smiled shyly.

"Elliana, come over and sit with Alma. I'm going upstairs and taking the medicine."

"Grandma, I know where your medicine is. I'll get it for you!" Audrey said.

Kylee refused. "I could go by myself. I have been sitting for a long time. I want to walk around. You can chat with Alma."

"Sure!" Audrey said.

Audrey sat beside Alma.

Audrey knew that Alma came here for her. If she left, Alma would be furious.

If Kylee was in good health, Audrey wouldn't care if Alma did anything behind her back. But Kylee was ill. Audrey didn't want Kylee to be affected.

Therefore, Audrey decided to deal with Alma today.

Kylee walked upstairs, leaving Audrey and Alma in the living room.

"Why is Miss Alma here so late?" Audrey smiled at Alma.

Alma's smile disappeared when she looked at Audrey.

"Ms. Elliana, or should I call you Ms. Audrey?"

Audrey remained smiling. "Why did you ask?"

"I talked with Madam Cordova. She said that you are her granddaughter, Elliana. However, as far as I know, your name is not Elliana. You're Audrey Koch. Then I thought that your mother may be Madam Cordova's daughter. But Madam Cordova told me that her daughter didn't marry a Koch. So, who are you?" Alma squinted at Audrey.

Audrey snorted.

Alma was trying to find out her identity.

Alma did not ask in front of Kylee, because Alma was thinking about something else. Moreover, she was afraid that she might get it wrong.

After asking the question, Alma stared at Audrey, trying to tell what Audrey was thinking about.

Audrey looked at Alma and raised her eyebrows. Audrey didn't look nervous.

"Miss Alma, are you investigating me?"

"I'm worried about Madam Cordova and Mr. Bryson. I don't want anyone to lie to them. So, can you explain it, Ms. Elliana?"

Audrey narrowed her eyes. "Explain it? Miss Alma, I don't think I should explain anything to an outsider like you."

Alma sat up and asked, "Ms. Elliana, can we just cut to the chase? Please answer my question."

Audrey's expression darkened.

"What do you want to know? You said that I am not Madam Cordova's granddaughter, so I must have another purpose when I disguise myself and get close to her."

"I knew you are not Madam Cordova's granddaughter." Alma gritted his teeth, looking indignant.

Audrey smiled at Alma. "But we are indeed a family."

"What do you mean?"

"I am not her granddaughter, but I am related to her. Are you sure you want to know about my identity?" Audrey narrowed her eyes and asked.

For some reason, Alma felt guilty when she met Audrey's gaze.

"You ... What do you mean by that? You said that you are not Madam Cordova's granddaughter. But now you said you're related to her. What do you mean?"

"Miss Alma, are you sure you want to know about it? If I lied to the Cordovas, Bryson and Grandma would have found out," said Audrey.

It made sense. Alma was confused.

"But didn't you say..."

"There are many secrets in the wealthy families. We have every reason not to tell you," Audrey suddenly said in a cold voice, "Miss Alma, my grandmother is not in good health. If you said something and she got ill again, well, I don't think that you can afford to make this mistake."

Alma's face turned pale, and she trembled slightly.

If anything happened to Kylee because of Alma, Bryson and the Cordovas would not let her go.

Audrey was indeed related to Kylee. Otherwise, why would Kylee and Bryson dote on her so much?

"I ... I was just ... curious..."

"Curious?" Audrey narrowed her eyes. "The Horges are in a bid for a project, but I don't think your family is unqualified to bid for it. If people knew about it, do you know what will happen, Miss Alma?"

"You ... you're lying. My family..."

"Well, Miss Alma, try it and see if I have any evidence."

Alma looked at Audrey in horror.

Audrey was not a gentle and harmless girl, but a devil that could eat her alive.

How could Audrey know about it? If she exposed the secret, the Horges would lose the bid and get sued. Her family would be destroyed in the Peace City.

Alma forced a gentle smile.

"Ms. Elliana, what are you talking about? Of course I want Madam Cordova to stay healthy. I was joking. I hope you wouldn't mind."

Audrey glanced at her indifferently.

"Miss Alma, it's getting late. You parents will be worried if you are still out. I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs and having a rest."

Alma got up in a panic.

"Sure, Ms. Elliana. I'll go back now. I'll pay you a visit another day!"
